Summary

Mei Lun encounters a fierce bulldog, which initially appears aggressive but eventually calms down as he pets it. After the bulldog retreats, a uniformed officer approaches Mei Lun, who explains his presence in the alley while trying to avoid trouble. The officer warns him about the dangers of stray animals and the unsettling situation in the Colin district. Once the officer leaves, Mei Lun expresses concern for the bulldog, even though he knows it can't understand him. He then heads to the library, where he spends the day reading and enjoying a meal. Later, he reflects on his future, considering paths to become a spell-casting practitioner. The next morning, as he travels to Shi Dan Li Private Academy to collect his graduation certificate, he experiences a strange auditory phenomenon that jolts him awake from a nightmare. His coachman, John, reassures him that he heard nothing unusual. Mei Lun is left questioning whether the sound was real or a figment of his imagination.
